About Willow Willers

What to say about me….

Well unlike most of those who you have had on your poetry Readathon so far I have not finished or published any books.

I am a mum and a grandma, married and shared two legs, with my hubby, to the lovely Ruby, our beautiful Labrador.

I was born in London but I now live in Berkshire.

I have broken my back twice, the second time rather badly resulting in a long stay in hospital and three operations. Anyway I am not going into…

Sap rising means many things like goodness coming to the for, new beginnings but the literal meaning of the word refers to the life fluid of a tree,plant or animal (including humans). It can refer to strong feelings of love,lust, anger eg: he/she could feel the sap rising or he/she felt the sap draining out.

Looking at sip,sup and sop I am struck by the fact that they too refer to liquid or liquor. To sip a drink, to sup a drink ( old English version of sip) come to mind. Also and old English term is sop which refers to a drunkard,or alcoholic. As in, drunken old sop he had supped enough ale to sink a battleship. Or again in he could of sipped too much ale🤔.

That leaves us with sep now Linda found us an interesting meaning for that, to choose not to see a problem. Well people who sip and sup too much alcohol become a sop, they loose all their sap and the problem they have with drink to them is a sep.

Sep is also short for my special month September .
